Asan, a novel by Vladimir Makanin (2008)

Rights sold: Albania - OMSCA-1, France - GALLIMARD, Germany - LUCHTERHAND, Netherlands - DE ARBEIDERSPERS, Poland - REBIS, Russia - IZDATELSTVO E, Slovenia - Modrijan, Spain - ACANTILADO, Turkey - ALFA

Winner of the 2008 Big Book Award

ADDENDUM TO OLD PHOTO ALBUM, a novel by Vladislav Otroshenko (2007)

Rights sold: Italy – Voland, Fanucci (magazine rights), France - Verdie, World English - Dalkey Archive Press

A mysterious race of a greedy tribe leaded by a bizarre patriarch with a heroic past, all inhabiting the unexplored depths of a house as big as the world. Otroshenko's quirky and cute characters move, peck, amuse one another as if they were puppets of papier mâché, engaged in phantasmagoric adventures, enchanting and exhilarating. Otroshenko makes the entire history of mankind and of Russia to repeat itself endlessly, in concentric circles out of time and space.
